Using linkText

[Pete]

Thanks Ken.  Seems like linkText is the way to go - it's just awkward to
maintain.  I was hoping there might be something like a right click that
would bring up a dialog to insert the linkText, kinda like you see in a lot
of WYSIWIG html editors.  I guess I could put that together pretty easily.
